Beauty Timesaver: Get Rid of Swim Hair in Just FIVE Minutes

Colored hair is only awesome when it's on purpose, right? The green post-pool look? Not so much. Nix your chlorine-y hair woes with this badass trick.

To rinse the greening chlorine from the pool and damaging salt from the sea out of your strands, pour 1 cup of vodka over your hair when showering, leave on for five minutes, then shampoo and condition. The spirit removes harmful water deposits without altering your color or texture, explains Marc Harris, owner of Marc Harris salons in Boston. "It also detangles and helps close hair's cuticle layer, leaving it shiny," he says.
